3. CampEZ in SxSouth Austin
Sunset Valley, Texas1 Review•20 Photos•73 SavesCamp EZ in SxSouth Austin! Creek-side private picnic/campground hideaway available. Book through Hipcamp or Airbnb:

https://www.airbnb.com/users/1568741/listings?user_id=1568741&s=50
This a "want to camp" campground. If you "need to camp" due to financial or other reasons, Camp EZ will not be a good fit for you.
Community vibe 'round here; everyone expected to be respectful of one another and clean up after themselves "leave no trace" style. One week maximum stay. Bring a tent and gear to be comfortable. 2 private hot outdoor showers, rustic kitchen and charming compost privy included. Wood fired sauna available. Visitors are expected to clean up after themselves especially in the kitchen, showers, restroom and, of course, your campsite. Trash and recycle containers are around or, better yet, pack it out! Campfires in designated area only with permission(burn ban sometimes). Bring firewood.
I have a 2 acre community on a secret and secluded little street 5 miles due South of the capitol of TX and even closer(2.5) to the very hip SoCo area(Continental Club, Jo's Coffee, Guero's Taco Bar, El Mercado and lots more). I have 3 cats, 11 chickens, 15 ducks, 2 little donkeys and 6 sweet mini goats here at my little and funky'farmette' right on Williamson Creek (flowing sometimes and not really swimmable) and next to a huge wooded greenbelt with a quiet and unused nature trail. This is not a KOA or a state park. This is a home campground. Its kind of rustic and we like it that way. You may see a roach, and you may also see a deer, a fox or a coyote. We are busy and not always able to visit for long. Lots of remodeling and flood related cleanup chaos here but also lots of pretty and secluded nature. Short walk to bus stop and historic Hills Cafe and Austin Bergstrom Airport is 9 easy highway miles away. Rustic outdoor shower/kitchen/privy. BYOTent. No wild or excessive partying here please and please remember: no smoking…(smoking area x the street).

Lake Bastrop North Shore Park
Interesting park
The park only has six campsites left. The rest have been converted to rentals of Airstreams or large tents for $150+ a night. There are three pretty good sites for large rigs in the interior and three camp sites facing the lake right next to each other. The trails and kayaking are great. Nice showers. I was here during the week and there were two large trailers and all the rentals were empty.

Colorado RiverBend Retreat
Wonderful site!
My family and I enjoyed our two night stay at site 2! peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Picnic table, fire pit, hammocks and the bathroom/shower is so close! There is also a large sink - perfect for washing dishes. You can park at the site - we set up two tents with space to spare. Right by the river - easy to fish or spend time in the multiple hammocks. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Views for Days
Was absolutely stunning, it’s on a cliff top so your “backyard” is a small trail to a gorgeous overlook of the lake and adjacent cliffs. I didn’t expect to be given this view. The campsite itself is also fairly shaded and there are some cacti but it’s the best spot I’ve stayed at while being there!

Clean and Quiet
This site was very clean and the bath houses were tidy and neat. We stayed right on the water and it was beautiful. Park staff was present and we would see them often driving around and checking on things.

Hill Country Getaway On The Lake
We stayed at spot 50 in the west look. It was extremely hard to back into, there is a tree right in front that you have to angle around. Site was somewhat level. Bathrooms were a little far away, you could see them from the spot, but it was about a.2 mile walk. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. The lake was beautiful and there were a ton of trails and spots to sightsee. The big draw for this campground is the proximity to Longhorn Caverns state park, which is a must see and do. Overall the campground was clean, relatively quiet, right next on the lake, with a ton of activities. I would recommend staying at one of the other areas that have bathrooms closer and better sites.

Nice place, arrive early for instructions
Beautiful location and facilities. It was difficult for late arrival to see and erroneously enter private cow pastures. Because we arrived late, we had no instructions on locked shower room. Get instructions be c or arrival. Quiet and relaxing. Worth it to spend more time hear.

Pecan RV Park
Hidden riverside gem
This is an older park, but the river access makes up for the outdated but clean facilities. Our side of the park was along the river and had great shade. The other side had no trees and seemed to be more full-time folks. Facilities are a little dated but clean. There are tons of full-time folks, and I can see why. The river is right there. Great river access and space to sit and watch the tubers go by. Very few bells and whistles. Some folks said it was much more community oriented before the new managers took over. They used to do movies and food trucks, and things just looked better. But it was nice. It was expensive for what it was, but again... the river access made it great.
